Crowned by the Man They Feared (Amelia and Jeremy) novel Chapter 633

Harrison slipped into the car, his fingertips still remembering the feel of grabbing Josie's arm moments earlier, and his heart tightened as if seized by an unseen hand, cold sweat breaking out across his back.

He looked through the rearview mirror at the glowing windows of Josie's home, his eyes sharpening into a steely glare.

They were at it again.

Trying to take her away?

They really refused to stop.

The more he thought about it, the colder Harrison's expression became.

Gianna, who had kept a low profile for a long time, seemed to fall apart after being driven out of the Jordan Estate.

She believed that losing the Nygard Residence did not matter, because relying on the Jordans, such a powerful family, would be even better.

But now both sides shut her out, leaving her completely crushed.

"It's all your fault. If you hadn't exposed my identity to Raymond so early, Patricia wouldn't hate me and push me away!

"Even if my position in the Nygard Residence slipped back then, I could still control them and keep living well!

"But look at me now! I can't return to the Nygard Residence, that old woman and the steward at the Jordan Estate won't take me in, and Brielle is trying to ruin me! What am I supposed to do?"

Lately, Gianna did not even dare attend gatherings among the women in their circle, nor did she show up at parties or social events.

Ever since Brielle learned they were half-sisters, she targeted Gianna from all sides and stirred others to shut her out.

Naturally, everyone stood with Brielle, the favored daughter of the Jordans.

After Gianna left the Nygard Residence, several rich girls still stayed close to her, and those relationships once seemed stable.

Now all of it was shattered by Brielle.

Whenever Gianna appeared, people mocked her with cutting remarks, so she no longer dared to go out.

She stayed home day after day, simmering in resentment like a bitter woman trapped with her anger.

She burned with rage, thinking she was also a Jordan, so why was she treated this way?

Her fury and envy ran so deep that she poured it all out on Regina every single day.

"You have no patience at all. Don't you understand that without endurance, you'll ruin the bigger plan?"

Regina tried to calm her at first, but Gianna was stubborn and refused to listen.

Even as her daughter, Regina eventually lost her patience.

On top of that, Regina had not been feeling well, which made her even more short-tempered.

This useless girl not only failed to help but dragged them down.

Worse still, she grew more arrogant each day, unaware of her limits and bold enough to blame her mother.

Gianna shrank under the scolding and finally came back to her senses.

Her confidence collapsed in an instant.

"I-I didn't mean that. I'm just anxious. I'm sorry, Mom."

She knew her position well, because aside from her mother, she had no one else to rely on.

So she humbled herself and apologized, hoping Regina could climb higher and find a stronger supporter.

Only then could Gianna follow along and live comfortably again.

"What's the use of being anxious?" Regina dismissed her, her gaze icy.

"Do you think complaining will make Amelia give up her advantages, or make Patricia fall?"

She paused, then smiled thinly and coldly. "If softness doesn't work, then we use force."

"Mom … you mean…" Gianna seemed to grasp her intent.
